4 Days Golden Triangle

This trip is the most popular trip covering the Golden Triangle viz., Delhi, Jaipur and Agra. Together they represent and unravel the mystique that is India.

New Delhi, the elegant capital with its wide roads, sprawling gardens and stately buildings, stands on the site of seven historical cities built by the visionary rulers though the centuries. Agra, the capital of the glorious Mughals Emperors, harbours the incomparable Taj Mahal, the exquisite marble monument that attracts millions of visitors every year and is a symbol of pure love! Jaipur is the enigmatic pink city of the Maharajas, the city of pomp and splendour, of colour and festivity, of rich and regal past that continues in to the present.

Though the cities are very different in character from each other, their histories have been interconnected, bringing about a similarity in culture, tradition and lifestyle.

Under the grand Mughals, the three cities were linked through political alliances and cultural interchange, architecture, arts and crafts were influenced by Hindu and Muslim traditions, and the result was unique synthesis which was reflected in the literary life and performing arts of the cities.

The Taj Mahal: Described as the most extravagant monument ever built of love, this poignant mausoleum has become the de facto tourist emblem of India. Emperor Shah Jahan constructed it in memory of his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Although the Taj is amazingly graceful from almost any angles, it is the close up detail that is really astounding. Semiprecious stones are inlaid into marble in beautiful patterns using a process called pietra-dura. The precision and care that went into the Taj Mahal’s design and construction is just as impressive whether you view it from across the river or at arm’s length.
